Responsorium IV - Nocturn II

Third Sunday of Lent, Nocturn II, Responsory 1

This responsory for the Third Sunday of Lent draws from Psalm 76:20 (Vulgate): 'Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters, and thou didst lead thy people like sheep.' The Exodus through the Red Sea is the paradigmatic salvation event of the Old Testament, prefiguring baptism. The responsory invites meditation on God's mysterious ways of deliverance.

LATINE
R. In mari via tua, et semitae tuae in aquis multis: * Et deduxisti sicut oves populum tuum.
V. Transtulisti illos per mare Rubrum, et transvexisti eos per aquam nimiam.
R. Et deduxisti sicut oves populum tuum.
